Nidhi Majumdar

I have also heard so many old wives' tales about this, but medically it's already decided at the moment of conception. We are planning too, and honestly, we just want a healthy baby. What symptoms are you having?

I know how emotionally draining the waiting game can be, please be gentle with yourself. It's best to consult a good gynac for a pre-conception checkup to make sure everything is safe and ready. Sending you lots of prayers.

Scientifically speaking, you just need to identify your fertile window, which is usually 5 days before ovulation and the day of. Having intercourse every alternate day during this window is highly effective. If you've been trying for over a year, then it's time to see a specialist.

Oh dear, I totally understand how exhausting and draining this phase is. Just hang in there, sweetheart, because seeing your healthy baby's face at the end makes every bit of this nausea totally worth it. Try sucking on some fresh lemon or ginger candies to soothe your stomach.

Don't worry at all, dear. This cannot cause pregnancy. You are completely safe, so please don't stress yourself over this.
